Is celery juice in the morning healthy?

Here’s a dietitian’s review on celery juice

Pros

• Hydrating first thing in the morning.

Drinking water early is important, it replenishes your body after sleeping and helps promote digestion and metabolism.

• Getting a serving of veggies in.

I always encourage vegetables at every meal! It’s a great way to sneak in veggies.

• Starting your day off making a healthy choice.

If it makes you feel like you’re starting the day off healthy, I say go for it! Set yourself up for good eating habits and healthy lifestyle.

Some Things To Consider Before Going On A Celery Juice Detox

1.) We do not have enough research to support any medical claims behind celery juice benefits, most studies have been done in rodents and with the whole vegetable, leaves or seeds vs. juice.

2.) This fad was created by a “medical medium” who gets his information from spirits.

3.) You are eliminating the fiber from celery nutrition, which has known health benefits and creates waste.
